Bobbie Harmer of St. Petersburg and Mary Beck of both Largo and Springfield, Ill., share a recipe for coconut squares from the Baker's Square coconut package. This is one of the easiest recipes you'll ever make. When mixed the crust is more like a cookie dough consistency rather than a cake batter, making it easy to press into the pan. The filling mixture is pourable. You can gently maneuver the mixture around the crust with a rubber spatula to make sure it's covered. It smells great while baking and the hard part is waiting for it to cool for a taste. It's more of a brownie like consistency rather than cake.
